"Zhang Ruochen, isn't he the recent sensation of Wumeng Academy, rumored to have killed more than one Tianji Realm warrior and is also the secret disciple of Silver Robe Elder's Hall Master?"

  "I knew it, how could a young strong man suddenly appear out of nowhere, it was him all along."

  Xue Qing's shirt was somewhat regretful. At the beginning, he shouldn't have underestimated Zhang Ruochen so much. If he had paid more attention to him, he would have definitely guessed his identity by now.

  Xue Qing's shirt had broken through the third layer of the Nine Extremes Pagoda, but his current strength was only enough to contend with the weakest of those at the Tianji boundary.

  But Zhang Ruochen was already able to kill a mid-stage Tianji Realm expert, how could they be compared?

  Xue Qing's eyes rose, gazing at Lei Jing, her heart skipped a beat. "Could he be Zhang Ruochen's master, the Lord of the Silver Robe Hall? That's right, even the Silver Robed Elder paid respects to him, it must be true."

  Xue Qing shirt hastily bowed to Lei Jing and immediately walked out of the speed test chamber.

  At the same time, Tu Jin seemed to have thought of something and bowed to Lei Jing with a look of reverence, then followed Xue Qing into the distance.

  After everyone left, Zhang Ruochen began testing his speed.

  Speed Testing Chamber is a gigantic circular space with a diameter of sixty meters, where array patterns are arranged on the ground to accurately record the fastest speed of warriors.

  Zhang Ruochen stood at the starting line, channeling his true energy to his legs and executing the Wind Chasing Dragon Shadow step. The true energy surrounding his body condensed into a faint dragon shadow.

  "Roar"

  With a low-pitched dragon's roar, Zhang Ruochen suddenly rushed out and transformed into a string of residual shadows.

  Zhang Ruochen stopped after running ten laps around the circular space.

  Lei Jing, standing beside him, nodded and said: "The fastest explosion speed is in the fourth circle, reaching 246 meters per second, slightly inferior to Luo Shuihan. Of course, with your current martial arts cultivation, having such a fast speed is already astonishing."

  "When you reach the extreme realm of the Grand Circle, your speed is estimated to break through 300 meters per second. As far as I know, even the top ten masters on the Earth Ranking List every year find it difficult to achieve a burst speed of 300 meters per second."

  Looking at Zhang Ruochen, Lei Jing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It was beyond his expectation that Tianmo Ridge could produce a genius as formidable as him.

  Zhang Ruochen was far more outstanding than he had imagined.

  Next is the final round, practical test, also the most important round.

  Zhang Ruochen and Lei Jing arrived outside the actual combat testing chamber.

  That silver-robed elder announced, "According to the results of the first and second rounds of testing, we have arranged your opponents for the practical test. Tu Jin, Xue Qing Shan."

  "In"

  Tú Jìn and Xuě Qīng shān took a step forward, walking to the entrance of the practical test chamber.

  The Silver Robed Elder said: "Your two overall strengths are not much different, and the difference with the 97,000th ranked warrior on the Earth Ranking is negligible. Now, you can choose which ranking to challenge. Remember, you only have three chances to challenge. Finally, according to your best score, we will give you a ranking on the Earth Ranking. If all three challenges fail, it also proves that you are not yet qualified to enter the Earth Ranking."

  The data of strength and speed is just a reference standard.

  In actual combat, there are often many uncertain factors, such as: combat experience, swordsmanship realm, spiritual power, mentality, etc., various factors that may affect the final test results.

  It's possible that some of the comprehensive data is not as good as Tu Jin and Xue Qing's martial artists, but their ranking is far higher than theirs.

  So data can only be used for reference, actual combat ability is most important.

  "Now, you can start choosing your opponents." said the silver-robed elder.

  Tú Jìn was very confident in his actual combat experience and said, "I want to challenge the ninth-ranked 94,271st Zhao Wúyá."

  Xue Qing Shan said: "I want to challenge the 95432nd ranked person on the Earth Ranking List, Xue Xiao Xian."

  It's clear that before participating in the Earth Ranking test, Tu Jin and Xue Qing had done their homework, flipping through the data of those high-ranking experts on the Earth Ranking, selecting opponents they were most likely to defeat.

  Tu Jin and Xue Qing walked into the testing chamber, but soon came out in disarray, both of them injured, their faces extremely downcast.

  It is clear that their first challenge was not successful.

  After recovering from their injuries, they immediately began their second challenge.

  After experiencing their first failure, they had to lower their sights a bit.

  The butcher's opponent was a ninth-rank master of the Earth Ranking List.

  The Snow Blue Shirt challenger was a ninth-rank 97,459th-place high-hand on the Earth Ranking.

  Half an hour later, the two were wounded again and retreated from inside.

  Failed again

  Having experienced this failure, the two of them became more cautious. If they failed a third time, it would mean that their test this time would be in vain.

  The next test must wait until three months later.

  The list is updated once a quarter and has always been for one season.

  "I challenge the 99,450th, Zuo Feng."

  Tú Jìn had somewhat lost his confidence and challenged a martial artist ranked far behind him.

  Xue Qing shirt was also sweating profusely, constantly looking at the names on the ground rankings, and finally chose one, saying: "I challenge the 99,641st place on the ground rankings, Qin Shui Lan."

  Tú Jìn and Xuě Qīng shān once again walked into the cultivation chamber.

  Luo Shuihan slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Tú Jìn and Xuě Qīngshān are also considered top-notch experts who have been through a hundred battles. Among the younger generation in Tiān Mó Lǐng, they can be considered one of the best young talents. Yet, they couldn't even defeat an opponent with similar strength in the Battle Ranking Test, it seems that it's really not that simple."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Being able to enter the Earth List, which one is not a seasoned master who has gone through hundreds of battles?"

  Lei Jing, who was standing by, reminded them: "Zhang Ruochen, Luo Shuihan, although your innate talents are very high, but compared to those warriors on the Earth Ranking, you are still a big gap in terms of age. So, actual combat experience is your weakness, and your mindset during battle is definitely not as calm as those warriors who have lived for decades."

  "So, in the first challenge, try to challenge a martial artist who is slightly weaker than your overall strength. As long as you win the first battle, your mentality will be much more relaxed, carrying the momentum of victory, and it will be easier to defeat stronger opponents."

  "Tujin and Xue Qing's shirts are just because of the first defeat, the next two games will become urgent and anxious, if the mentality is unstable, it is difficult to get a good ranking."

  "Thank you for your guidance." Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan said in unison.

  Half a time later, Tu Jin walked out first, with injuries on his body, disheveled hair, and a somewhat lost expression. "How could I possibly lose?"

  He muttered to himself as he walked out of the testing hall with an unsteady gait.

  "Butcher Jin actually failed." Zhang Ruochen said with a frown.

  Luoshui Han said: "The first two challenges failed, and his confidence has already been shattered. Once the confidence collapses, it is normal to lose to someone who is not as strong as oneself."

  A moment later, Xue Qing walked out of the testing chamber, looking rather excited. He had narrowly obtained victory and passed the third round of skill testing.

  That silver-robed elder recorded the resources of Snow Qing's shirt in detail and compiled them into a tawny booklet, saying: "Although you have passed the three rounds of testing, however, you have only defeated 99,641 Earth List warriors. Whether or not you can enter the next round of the Earth List is still an unknown quantity."

  Every time the list is updated, the ranking of the land list will change, especially for those warriors who are ranked behind, many of whom will be competed away.

  Xue Qing shirt has completed three tests, but can only be considered as barely making the list. If the competition for the next period's earth ranking is fierce, then he may very likely be ranked after 100,000th place.

  Xue Qing's mood had already improved greatly after learning that Tu Jin failed the test, at least he passed the test and proved himself to be stronger than Tu Jin.

  Whether it can enter the ground chart, just look at luck now

  After Xue Qing left, the gaze of the silver-robed elder turned to Luo Shuihan and Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Luo Shuihan, your comprehensive test results show that your strength is equivalent to a martial artist ranked 3,700th on the Earth List. Now, you can choose your opponent based on your strength. Remember, you only have three chances."

  Luoshui Han thought for a moment, then said: "I'll challenge the third thousand seven hundredth ranked warrior on the Earth Ranking. I want to know if I can defeat my opponent under the same strength conditions."

  That silver-robed elder nodded and opened the testing chamber.

  After Luo Shuihan walked into the testing chamber, the silver-robed elder immediately went to Lei Jing's front, bowed and said: "Master, how do you plan to arrange Zhang Ruochen's actual combat test?"

  That silver-robed elder did not know Zhang Ruochen's test results for the past two rounds and could only come to ask Lei Jing.

  Lei Jingdao said: "Zhang Ruochen's strength in the ranking, I've already told him, so you don't need to worry. Zhang Ruochen, do you remember what I just told you?"

  Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly.

  "Then go in," said Lei Jingdao.

  Zhang Ruochen walked into the testing chamber and entered a huge space that was eighty meters long, sixty meters wide, and forty meters high.

  "Whoosh"

  Golden words appeared on the stone wall in space.

  Each line of golden text represents a martial arts master.

  At the very top of those golden characters, two large golden characters are presented:

  Local tyrant.

  In the secret room, a thick voice sounded, "I am the divided spirit of the Earth List. Congratulations on passing the first two rounds of testing. Now, you can tell me which warrior from the Eastern Region's Earth List you want to challenge."

  It is said that Huang Biao, Xuan Biao, Di Biao and Tian Biao are all powerful sacred artifacts with a strong artifact spirit comparable to the divine.

  The divine instrument of the Earth List, condensed with the fighting will of countless Earth List warriors from all over the world, even possessing independent thinking, can split into countless "instrumental spirits", scattered throughout the world, in charge of the local Earth List testing palaces.
